In her previous life, Li Mingxi was an orphan. She encountered a car accident on her way home from work and was reborn into the 1960s, becoming the most beloved granddaughter of the Old Li family.<...
Niu Cuihua had eaten beggar's chicken when she was a child, and it was made by her grandfather.
Although many years have passed, she still thinks the beggar's chicken in her memory is the most delicious thing she has ever eaten in her life.
So she started to follow the steps she remembered her grandfather used to prepare beggar's chicken.
First wash the plucked chicken, then add salt, soy sauce, and rice wine and marinate for an hour. Then add the powder of spices such as cloves and star anise to the powdered milk nut and mix well, then rub it all over the chicken.
Wrap it with large leaves, then smear mud on the leaves and put it on the fire. When the mud dries, the chicken is cooked and can be eaten.
Because it takes a long time to cook beggar's chicken, Niu Cuihua asked Zhang Huilan to make soup. She thought that if they only ate beggar's chicken, they would be thirsty.
It’s a good time to make the soup while cooking the beggar’s chicken, so that when the soup is ready, you can also eat the beggar’s chicken.
I don’t know how long I waited, but the mud on the beggar’s chicken dried up.
Li Mingyi had been standing by eagerly, and as soon as he saw the mud on the beggar's chicken dried, he started yelling, "Grandma, is this ready to eat? Is the meat cooked?"
After waiting for a whole afternoon, he was already very greedy. Now, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
Li Mingxi also got up at this time and sat in the main room waiting for dinner.
Hearing Li Mingyi's shout, Niu Cuihua went over to take a look. Sure enough, the beggar's chicken was cooked. She cleaned it up and asked Zhang Huilan to serve it on the table.
Even though he often eats meat, Li Mingxi was still very greedy after the beggar's chicken was served on the table.
Unfortunately, the smell was too fragrant, and it kept drilling into my nose.
It was already a great achievement for Li Mingyi to hold on until the beggar's chicken was served, so as soon as the whole family sat down, he directly suggested, "Grandma, grandma, let's eat."
"Okay, let's eat!"
As soon as Niu Cuihua finished speaking, Li Mingyi started picking up the food with his chopsticks in a hurry.
Li Mingxi was given half a chicken by himself. When the chicken meat was eaten, Li Mingxi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it really is worthy of being called beggar's chicken, it tastes so good!
Li Mingxi was particularly satisfied with this meal and even felt that his body was better.
However, Niu Cuihua looked at Li Mingxi's slightly pale face, and as soon as she finished her meal, she drove Li Mingxi back to the house to sleep.
But for some reason, Li Mingxi always felt a little uneasy while lying in bed.
At the same time, Huo Jingchen was chasing a spy in the mountains.
Just as he was about to catch up with the man, there was a loud bang and a gunshot.
Huo Jingchen only felt a pain in his chest, and was about to continue chasing the person, but his eyes went dark and he fainted.
When the spy saw Huo Jingchen fainted after being hit, he stopped caring about him. According to his accuracy, this man was definitely dead!
Thinking of this, he felt relieved and continued walking into the mountains and forests.
"Ah," Li Mingxi screamed as she looked at the scene in front of her, and then woke up from her sleep.
Li Mingxi looked at the dark roof in front of him and realized that he was having a nightmare. He gasped for breath.
Everyone in the Li family was sleeping when they were woken up by the scream.
Later, I found out that the sound came from Li Mingxi's room, and I became extremely worried.
Zhang Huilan came over first, knocked on the door and asked, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Mingxi heard his mother's voice and knew that she was concerned about him, so he quickly replied, "It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
After saying this, Li Mingxi opened the door and let Zhang Huilan in.
Niu Cuihua also came over at this time, and just heard what Li Mingxi said, and asked, "Xiaoxi, are you in the way? Do you want someone to call for you?"
According to Niu Cuihua's experience, if you are scared by a nightmare, you need someone to call you.
Li Mingxi didn't believe Niu Cuihua's words, so she quickly declined, "No, no, I'm fine, I just got scared."
Niu Cuihua and Zhang Huilan finally felt relieved when they heard Li Mingxi say that she was fine.
Because it was still early, the two stayed in the house with Li Mingxi for a while, and then went back to sleep.
The next morning, when Li Mingxi woke up, he found that he felt relaxed both physically and mentally, and the uncomfortable feeling he had in the past few days was gone.
She thought that her illness should be cured, which was good news for Li Mingxi.
Then she remembered the nightmare she had last night.
In the dream, after Huo Jingchen was shot, no one came to save him, and he lay quietly in a pool of blood.
Li Mingxi was awakened by the dream at that time. The scene in the dream was so real that she felt as if she had seen it with her own eyes.
For a moment, Li Mingxi was afraid that Huo Jingchen had an accident, but even if he had an accident, it was not something he could dream of!
Li Mingxi was a little confused, but why did the place where he had the accident last night feel so familiar?
However, Li Mingxi didn't think much about it. She didn't think that Huo Jingchen would come to Yueshan for any mission. After all, their team was at the foot of the mountain, but they didn't hear any movement last night!
Who knew that at noon, Li Mingyi came down the mountain in a hurry.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to the brigade headquarters and found the brigade commander Li Tiezhu.
Li Tiezhu was talking to the brigade accountant when he saw Li Mingyi coming to him anxiously. For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if something had happened at home.
Thinking of this, he asked directly, "What's wrong? Xiaoyi, is there something wrong?"
Li Mingyi glanced at Li Shuanzhu beside him and motioned him to follow him out.
Seeing him like this, Li Tiezhu naturally knew that he had something private to tell him, so he asked Li Tiezhu to wait for him while he followed Li Mingyi outside. "What's wrong? What's the matter?"
Li Mingyi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered to Li Tiezhu.
It turned out that because their sister's illness was cured, the two brothers thought that the chicken they had eaten yesterday must have worked, so after breakfast this morning, they discussed going up the mountain again.
The two of them walked all the way to the middle of the mountain, and then they found a pile of blood.
At that time, he and his brother Li Mingde were terrified and thought it was some ferocious beast.
Just as I was about to go down the mountain, I found that the bloodstains were only in that area, and there were only a few bloodstains in other places.
The two brothers were very brave. They followed the blood trail and walked to a cave.
At first, the two people were afraid to move outside the cave, for fear that there might be some monster. But after waiting for a while and seeing nothing coming out, the person who came in took the things and bravely went in.
As a result, a young man was found lying there with a wound on his chest.
When Li Mingyi saw this scene, he was terrified. He felt that the man must be dead. It was Li Mingde who mustered up the courage to go forward and take a look, only to find that the man was just unconscious.
So, brother Li Mingde called Li Mingyi down the mountain to call the brigade secretary and ask him to see what to do about this matter.
